Coinciding with the release of CEDA’s research report, this address will examine the budget fiscal problem and outline a package of options that can return the Federal Budget to surplus by 2018-19 and beyond.

In his first speech on this research, Mr McClintock will outline the options which have been prepared by a high level bipartisan Balanced Budget Commission, chaired by the speaker. The Commission includes some of Australia’s most senior former public servants and economists from both the private sector and academia.

The speech will outline clear options for changes to expenditure and revenue that are both fiscally and politically viable.

Paul McClintock AO is the National Chairman of CEDA (the Committee for Economic Development of Australia).

Mr McClintock is also Chairman of NSW Ports, Myer Holdings Limited and I-MED Network and is a Director of St Vincent’s Health Australia Limited and The George Institute for Global Health.

From July 2000 to March 2003 he served as the Secretary to Cabinet and Head of the Cabinet Policy Unit reporting directly to the Hon. John Howard MP, Prime Minister.

Mr McClintock’s former positions include Chairman of Medibank Private Limited, Thales Australia, the COAG Reform Council, Intoll Management Limited, Symbion Health, Affinity Health, Ashton Mining, Plutonic Resources and the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research. He was also a Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a Commissioner of the Health Insurance Commission and a member of the Australia-Malaysia Executive Committee.
